Will this work on Sprint?

[jlechner]

Had a tech guy at Sprint Campus tell me this will work on the network, but I'm wondering if everything will work, network, calls, everything. Found a great price for one, and will buy it so long as it all works. So, I really need to know, but can't get ahold of my contact to find out. anyone here know for sure if all the bells and whistles will be ok on Sprint?

Sprint runs on a CDMA network the HD runs on GSM... see where I'm going with this? It's like running mac osx on a windows cpu

I understand that part bro, but the specs say it's also a WCDMA phone. So it should work right? This is the part I'm getting confused on. when I told the tech guy, he said that because of that, being a quad band phone, it'll work on Sprint. lol I'm only a little lost.

It's a joke. You can run Mac OSX on a PC (if you know what you are doing). That website sells OSX pre-installed on a PC.

So, by saying running a GSM phone on CDMA is like running OSX on a PC... would mean that it is possible...

It may be a joke, but it's one that doesn't make any sense at all. Running Mac OSX on a PC is nowhere near similar to running a GSM phone on CDMA. Besides, the only research we have to do first is why this device wouldn't work on US GSM carriers 3G networks... Possibly a full SIM unlock would be the answer, but I know a place where they'll fully unlock any PDA for $35 near Times Square, so for anybody with the HD that wants it fully unlocked, feel free to PM me.

Very true, but if you do some research, you can figure out how to do it yourself, and even dual boot it with XP/Vista.

I run mac osx on a windows cpu
by windows cpu i assume u mean a PC cpu
by PC cpu i assume you mean either amd or intel since macs run on that
so i built a computer and installed os x on it
it had an intel cpu.


you were right though i just had to point it out that that is software discrepency and not hardware,
so its like running linux drivers for your graphics card on your windows pc, it wont work.

but hopefully they turn their heads to the touch hd pro, possibility of being on sprint and hopefully a possibility of android
